Today I started a new short-term full-time job for a local small web development company. I'm taking over the duties of their current developer for 4 months because he's off getting married in August

The people are really cool and my first day was quite the doozy. I forgot a few really simple programming basics and also my workhours where I tried to leave half an hour early. doh! My boss pointed this out to me so I felt like a complete pratt however he told me I could leave early, I was a bit embarrased, but he insisted. He's cool

Well, that was my day.. really OT, but it was my very first day of PAID work in the industry I've studied in for over 3 years so I was really happy that this was something I actually enjoyed doing. It did occur to me that I'd made a mistake and wasted 3 years of my life, but I'm glad this was unfounded. Phew :p

Anywho..
I've considered whether this will affect the schedule again but I'm sure we'll find a way around this like filming in the evenings or weekends. It'll be fine :)

Regards, Cliff

Last week my fellow co-host Lenaire went in for surgery, the details of which I won't go into, but I can tell you that she is at home recovering and will be back on her feet in no time

I just wanted to wish her well and I'm sure she'd appreciate a few kind words from you as well so please post a comment and let her know how much you care about your second favorite BTB host, the first being me of course. jk. lolz

Wishing you well, Lenaire!

Regards, Cliff

PS: In case you're wondering if this will affect future episodes of your favorite show, Below the Belt, I can assure you that we recorded a decent buffer of episodes just before she went into hospital which should cover her recovery period so you shouldn't notice any change to the weekly schedule. Woot (I say this alot don't I?! lolz)

Here are the results for the last poll for the WWE Night of Champions PPV!
The People have Spoken! and, thought it was..

• Awesome! I'm happy with all the results 3 (16%)
• Ok, but Finlay & Hornswoggle should've beaten The Miz & Morrison 3 (16%)
• Ok, but Chavo should've beaten Matt Hardy 3 (16%)
• Ok, but Kane should've beaten Mark Henry and The Big Show 2 (11%)
• Ok, but The Big Show should've beaten Mark Henry and Kane 3 (16%)
• Ok, but Ted DiBiase should've beaten Holly & Rhodes with another Tag Team partner 2 (11%)
• Ok, but Holly & Rhodes should've stayed together and beaten DiBiase and another Tag Team partner 3 (16%)
• Ok, but Y2J should've beaten Kofi Kingston 4 (22%)
• Ok, but Katie Lea Burchill should've beaten Mickie James 0 (0%)
• Ok, but Batista should've beaten Edge 1 (5%)
• Ok, but John Cena should've beaten HHH 7 (38%)
• What Inaugural Diva's Championship Belt match? 9 (50%)
• Probably one of the Worst PPVs ever! I can't believe I paid for that! 4 (22%)

Total Votes: 18

The biggest queston on everyone's mind after GM Vickie Guererro's hype for the inaugural and ugly-ass belt in the Diva's Championship title match is.. WTF!

I mean, what the hell happened to this match?! Did they finally realise that two diva's matches at NOC was a stupid idea. Frankly, they should've kept the inaugural Diva's title match and dumped Mickie James vs Katie Lea Burchill because no one cared about that feud. They were more interested in the Beth vs Melina feud. Anywho, what ended up happening is the Diva's title match got moved to the next PPV.. The (not so) Great American Bash without rhyme or reason. I, personally, would have preferred a little rhyme. lolz. Moving on, the other only notable mention is a resounding 7 votes for Cena opening up a can of whomp ass on HHH. Wow! I didn't realise you, the fans, either really love Cena or really hate HHH with a passion. So which are you? hmm

Thanks for voting everyone! Please vote in my latest poll for the Great American Bash PPV. Only a few days left to go

Here are the results for the last several polls!
The People have Spoken! and, thought..

The New INTRO for BTB Season 2 should be..

• Opt 1 - No music 0 (0%)
• Opt 2 - Delirium by nocreeps 9 (52%)
• Opt 3 - Just Rock v1 by The Helldorados 2 (11%)
• Opt 4 - Just Rock v2 by The Helldorados 6 (35%)
• Can't decide? Leave it to us! 0 (0%)

Total Votes: 17

The New OUTRO for BTB Season 2 should be..

• Opt 1 - No music 1 (6%)
• Opt 2 - Delirium by nocreeps 8 (50%)
• Opt 3 - Just Rock v1 by The Helldorados 7 (43%)
• Opt 4 - Just Rock v2 by The Helldorados 0 (0%)
• Can't decide? Leave it to us! 0 (0%)

Total Votes: 16

So the resounding vote (17 and 16 in each poll) has the music for BTB Season 2 the same as that of Season 1. Although not the choice I wanted I guess things will remain the same at least as far as the music goes. I'll still be updating the intro and outros clips but I guess you'll see very soon!

Next up we had a poll some time ago for ONS. Here are your thoughts on that PPV!

2008 One Night Stand was:

• Awesome! I'm happy with all the results 3 (18%)
• Ok, but Umaga should've beaten Jeff 7 (43%)
• Ok, but CM Punk should've won in the 5-man Singapore Cane match 1 (6%)
• Ok, but Morrison should've won in the 5-man Singapore Cane match 7 (43%)
• Ok, but Chavo should've won in the 5-man Singapore Cane match 5 (31%)
• Ok, but Tommy should've won in the 5-man Singapore Cane match 2 (12%)
• Ok, but JBL should've beaten Cena 9 (56%)
• Ok, but Melina should've beaten Beth 4 (25%)
• Ok, but HBK should've beaten Batista 3 (18%)
• Ok, but Randy should've beaten HHH 6 (37%)
• Ok, but The Undertaker should've beaten Edge 5 (31%)
• What the.. you mean I missed One Night Stand? 0 (0%)
• Hated it! Too predictable 0 (0%)

Total Votes: 16

Lots of support for JBL (with 9 votes) where you thought he should've beaten Cena for the 1, 2, 3. This is followed by a second equal vote for Morrison winning the Singapore Cane match and Umaga The Samoan "Bulldog" (my Michael Cole quote, lolz) bringing the beat down to Jeff Hardy. And finally, our last notable mention is you believed a second Age of Orton should have been ushered in with Randy winning the title back from HHH

Our final poll was on the BTB Episode Lottery Draft. A promotional idea I had which coincided with YT's update to their subscriber county systemy thing. That's the new IT definition for all things geeky. Anyway, here are your thoughts!

The BTB Episode Lottery Draft was..

• A great idea, keep doing them! 8 (88%)
• An okay idea, but I prefer the "Mystery Draft Lotto" idea 1 (11%)
• A bad idea, don't do it again! 0 (0%)
• A terrible idea! I unsubscribed 0 (0%)

Total Votes: 9

It looks like we'll be seeing more of these. Woot!

Thanks for voting everyone! Please vote in my latest poll for the Night of Champions PPV
